Hardware Accelerating Audio Coding Algorithms
Frank Mayer, D. Dalquen, T. Dettbarn · 2006
This paper evaluates hybrid hardware-software structures for acceleration and power savings in audio coding algorithms. Using the well known MPEG I/II layer 3 (mp3) decoder as example, we demonstrate the general principles and trade-offs. The results, obtained for mp3, are valid for (but not limited to) the full family of MPEG codecs, due to algorithmic similarities, including AAC and HE-AAC.
